ThermalLY CONDUCTIVE Chemistries

Silicones

Silicones are one of the most versatile chemistries offering flexibility spanning a wide temperature range (-75°Cto +200°C). CoolTherm silicone products can help protect fragile electronic components and modules where high temperature resistance and permanent flexibility are top priorities. LORD offers platinum-cured, soft silicone and condensation-cured silicone rubbers, either unfilled clear or filled.

Urethanes

Urethanes are useful when high temperature resistance is not required. For electronic packaging, urethanes work best in low-temperature applications where stress-sensitive electronic devices need a barrier against water or vibration. We offer low viscosity urethane products ranging from soft gels to semi-rigid casting materials that are customized to fit a variety of applications.

Acrylics

Acrylic-based adhesives are primarily used to bond metals, composites and a number of thermoplastic materials. They require little to no surface preparation or primers and cure at room temperature. Our acrylics offer toughness that delivers impact resistance, excellent low- and high-temperature performance, and desirable in-service fatigue life on top of high structural strength in bonded assemblies.

THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Battery Packs

As battery technologies evolve to have increased energy density, the ability to manage heat during charge and discharge cycles is crucial for optimizing performance. LORD CoolTherm™ encapsulants, adhesives and gap fillers are fully customizable and compatible with cylindrical, pouch and prismatic battery cells. Our dedicated application engineers will work with you to ensure your project’s specific performance requirements, cost targets and deadlines are met quickly.

With CoolTherm tailored heat management solutions and our responsive technical experts at your fingertips, get ready to achieve a different kind of cool.

Chargers/Inductors

LORD CoolTherm™ custom-tailored encapsulants and gap fillers improve proper heat flow in inductors and transformers, optimizing performance during charging and increasing product longevity. Since our encapsulants have a low viscosity, they flow easily into the tiniest crevices, enabling better impregnation of irregularly-shaped magnetic components and helping to reduce inductor hum. We also offer a range of gap fillers that can provide a thermal interface between your charger’s magnetics and cooling plate.

Whatever your charger application requires, we can help you select the correct material and optimize your process to improve performance and lower costs.

Motors

LORD CoolTherm™ conductive epoxy and silicone encapsulants help manage that heat, which enables you to increase the power density and life of your motor. Our studies have shown a temperature decrease of up to 50°C or an increase in power output up to 30% when using our CoolTherm materials.

What’s the best solution for your application? We can help you select the correct material and optimize your process to improve performance and lower costs. With over 40 years of industry expertise and a full product portfolio available, we can help you stick to your schedule and stay on budget with CoolTherm solutions.

Power Electronics

In order to extend the life of your power electronics, you need to maintain low thermal resistance and protect components from shock, moisture and debris. LORD CoolTherm™ low viscosity, highly thermally conductive pottants provide a robust thermal interface, as well as protect delicate electrical components. Additionally, we offer a variety of other thermal interface materials — available in gels, greases, adhesives and gap fillers — that will not only improve heat flow but also provide excellent isolation and vibration dampening.

Our dedicated technical service staff will work with you on a customized solution and can help select the correct material for your application that aligns with your cost targets and process for improving performance.
